Hands on activities provides a great opportunity for all participants to understand the issue.  Incorporating Technology talks or Technology nights in schools with the greatest needs (Title I) will provide the opportunity to see the devices, the software and the tools to be used during the school year. These forums could also include FAQ session to address issue with the hardware or internet access.

Face to Face forums held at school sites

One on One conversations

All these activities requires people's time and funding to plan and execute them.

What other resources would you recommend?

As an assignment of Public Engagement Strategy class, of Global Futures School at Arizona State University, I am seeking engagement with the public regarding understanding, interest, concerns and potential solutions to address Digital Inequity in Poway School Unified District, Title I schools.  The goal of this site is to put together a small conversation among school district officials, teachers, foundations, parents, students and sponsors where we all can share our thoughts. These insights may be used in the design of a future event engaging with a broader public.

Thanks for your support!
